Summary

Released in 1997, Nil by Mouth is a drama film.

A second review pool sits behind it as well: 416 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 4,081 1990s films, not against the whole corpus. Only 75 of its IMDb reviewers are calibrated, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 79 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track.
